Marty talks about a positive Wall Street Journal article about the AVP and business use Quick TakeThe Wall Street Journal reports that while the $3,499 Apple Vision Pro hasn't broken through broadly with consumers, it's quietly gaining traction in business—especially where high-fidelity visualization and training matter.Enterprise-first adoption: Unlike iPhone's consumer-led rise, Vision Pro is seeing company-led uptake across specific verticals.Why these niches: Best-in-class visuals, precise hand/eye UI, and adjustable immersion make spatial tasks (design, simulation, review) feel natural.Reality check: High price, comfort considerations, and a still-maturing app ecosystem limit mass consumer pull—so near-term momentum sits in pro workflows.Retail design: Lowe's uses Vision Pro to help customers and staff visualize kitchen designs at life-like scale.Aviation training: CAE employs spatial simulations to improve pilot training and decision practice.Industrial/product development: Dassault Systèmes integrates Vision Pro into engineering/design reviews with digital‑physical overlays.Faster decisions, fewer surprises: Seeing true-to-scale designs in context reduces back-and-forth and boosts stakeholder alignment.Training where stakes are high: Immersive rehearsal for rare or risky scenarios (flight, complex operations) improves readiness without real-world risk.Enterprise is the bridge: Business use may seed the apps and practices that eventually make Vision Pro mainstream.Total cost of ownership: $3,499 headset plus accessories, device management, and training time.Comfort & deployment at scale: Weight/battery tether and fleet management considerations.App depth: More native spatial apps are needed to replace iPad ports in pro workflows.If your work benefits from spatial context (design reviews, simulation, complex planning), Vision Pro is already delivering value.For general consumers, patience: enterprise adoption will likely drive app growth and hardware refinements that broaden appeal.WSJ — “Apple's Vision Pro Gaining Traction in Some Niches of Business”Link: https://www.wsj.com/articles/apples-vision-pro-gaining-traction-in-some-niches-of-business-16d3c74eJoin our live stream Mondays at 9 PM ET (search “Vision ProFiles” on YouTube), or catch the replay and audio on your favorite podcast app.Contact: ThePodTalkNetwork@gmail.com · ThePodTalk.net

eBay, Inc. (Nasdaq: EBAY), a global commerce leader that connects millions of buyers and sellers around the world, today celebrates three decades of ecommerce success. Since its founding in 1995, eBay has shaped the way enthusiasts participate in the circular economy, empowering entrepreneurs and creating economic opportunity for millions. "eBay's 30th anniversary is an important milestone we share with our global community of buyers and sellers, who've been with us every step of the way," said Jamie Iannone, Chief Executive Officer at eBay. "Looking ahead, we'll continue to leverage innovation and AI to make eBay simpler and more trusted, while building a stronger marketplace for the decades to come." To mark its 30th anniversary milestone, eBay is hosting a series of special events in New York City to honour the buyers and sellers who have shaped its journey since 1995. Celebration at Nasdaq: Today, eBay CEO Jamie Iannone and company executives will ring the opening bell at the Nasdaq MarketSite. The moment reflects eBay's impact on global commerce and its continued innovation designed to better serve small businesses, entrepreneurs and enthusiasts around the world. Immersive '95 Shop: Complementing the ceremony, eBay is launching an immersive retail experience - the '95 Shop - a tribute to the iconic trends and items from its founding year. The activation is where 90s nostalgia meets three decades of ecommerce innovation. It features a "Greatest Hits" auction across Fashion, Collectibles, and Motors, a series of eBay Lives from leading sellers, and more immersive experiences. Located at 45 Grand St. in New York City, the shop will open on Sept. 4 for one day only. AI-Powered Innovation At Scale eBay's global scale, category expertise, and unparalleled breadth of inventory enable the company to deliver personalised, scalable, and magical experiences for its customers worldwide. By combining sought-after inventory in focus categories, such as Collectibles, Fashion, and Motors, with innovative tools and strategies, eBay continues to expand its role as a trusted marketplace for sellers and buyers.

Internally, AI-powered services help streamline workflows, unlock deeper insights, and foster creativity, ultimately allowing employees to focus on higher-value activities. Beyond AI, eBay is reimagining ecommerce through innovations like eBay Live, a dynamic shopping experience that continues to scale with strong seller adoption and growing buyer engagement. Together, these initiatives drive eBay's ability to build on its category strengths, technological capabilities, and community of sellers to shape the future of ecommerce.

If you love being whisked away to far-off destinations (especially when there's family and fabulous food involved!), you won't want to miss this chat with author Jennifer Probst. Jennifer discusses her writing career, passion for travel (especially Italy), her recent book "To Sicily With Love," and the inspiration behind her Meet Me in Italy series. Italy isn't just a backdrop—it's a character. Jennifer traveled on a three-generational trip with her mom & niece to research “Our Italian Summer,” and swears you need to feel a place for it to become real on the page. Her advice: Go where your soul feels pulled. But Jennifer's books are more than just romantic escapism—she doesn't shy from deep themes like grief, family secrets, and personal transformation. “To Sicily With Love” weaves in DNA ancestry, internet fame, and the fallout from life's unexpected explosions. Writers, listen up: Jennifer's got wisdom for you too! She teaches, speaks, and just launched a “Write Naked” course via Kickstarter—packed with craft, inspiration, and her vendor list (editors, artists, you name it). Trust the process: “You have to live a full life so you always have stories to tell.” Live fully, honor your story, and never stop learning from the world around you.

We start Part 7 off where the show began, way back in Episode ZERO, which we first released on SOUND CLOUD as a pilot for a potential series, with an interview with Annie Saunders of Wilderness, whose The Day Shall Declare It jump started that renaissance era and got the local performing arts world taking things seriously.Annie and I look back on that, and on the roadblocks that have kept her from making work here at that scale since. And then I talk to some of the other folks who come up in our conversation and those who helped shape the way I thought about and moved through the LA arts scene — like Lauren Ludwig and Monica Miklas of Capital W, and designer Tommy Honton who did so much work on the permitting crisis that hit LA in the wake of tragic events in Northern California in 2016. And, of course, Jacob Patterson, who ran Think Tank Gallery in DTLA and gave countless projects and artists a home… including this podcast for a while.One last jaunt through LA for Season One.

a conversation with Bryce Boehmer where we discuss how to understand culture. We are setting up a workshop in Calgary on 20-21st October and this podcast provides an outline for the workshop program.Culture cannot be understood through definitions and propositions; culture is lived and experienced through observations and conversations.In this podcast, Nippin explains to Bryce how to make the familiar strange and the strange familiar through immersive, experiential learning that is termed as Semiotic Walks. As part of this workshop, we will visit a church, a Buddhist monastery and the Ikea Store in Calgary to feel and experience culture. Through these two days of experiential learning we will gain the wisdom and insights to become strategic and deliberate about organisational culture and culture change.

From MPR News, Art Hounds are members of the Minnesota arts community who look beyond their own work to highlight what's exciting in local art. Their recommendations are lightly edited from the audio heard in the player above. Want to be an Art Hound? Submit here.Ojibwe art and teachings at Tettegouche State ParkEric Klepinger, an artist north of Duluth, recommends checking out the monthly artists' shows and the artist-in-residence work at Tettegouche State Park. Featured in August is prolific Ojibwe artist Sam Zimmerman of Duluth, whose work will be on view until September. His boldly colored work often features animal forms, and Klepinger says these works were inspired by animals he saw at Tettegouche. Zimmerman is also, separately, the Artist-in-Residence at Tettegouche. For this role, he created seven signs, printed on weather-proof aluminum, about the seven Grandfather Teachings of the Ojibwe, which will be installed next spring at the Nature Play Area. See all the artists at Artists-in-Residence programs at State Parks across the state here. Watercolor artist and naturalist Chris Dillon is the featured artist next month, and there will be an artist's reception for her Sept. 5. in the Tettegouche Visitor Center starting at 7 p.m.Arab American women's stories in silk and animationSandra Brick, a teaching artist at the Textile Center, appreciates Hend Al-Mansour's exhibition at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. “Mihrabs: Portraits of Arab American Women” is an immersive exhibit of four installations of brightly colored, silk-screened fabric, which are paired with a short animation. Brick appreciates that visitors enter each pillar to experience the objects, sights, and sounds of the lives of four Minnesota women whose heritages trace to Syria, Morocco, Palestine and Saudi Arabia. “You feel like you're visiting these women,” Brick says. There is an artist talk on Sunday, Sept. 7 at 2 p.m. The exhibit runs through Oct. 26. Punk rock meets Gorky in interdisciplinary theaterActor Kenzi Allen of St. Paul is looking forward to seeing “The Mother: A Punk Rock Musical” next weekend, Sept. 4-7, at Sokol Hall in St. Paul. Inspired by Maxim Gorky's novel, the show is a collaboration between Luverne Seifert and Darcey Engen of Sod House Theater and Carl Flink of Black Label Movement, featuring music by Annie Enneking of Annie and the Bang Bang. Allen, who was involved in an early workshop of the show last year, is excited by the way it brings acting, dance and music together.“I think I personally crave a whole lot more work that has this kind of overlap and interdisciplinary focus. So I hope this show kind of shows how much fun and how much vibrancy each of us artists have to give to each other's disciplines,” Allen says.“The show is about a mother and a son who are living in poverty in Russia, and the son gets involved in what becomes the Bolshevik Revolution. The story follows how the mother is also brought into that whole uprising. “I think now is a good time to be telling this story, because we're looking back at history in this time and seeing what has happened in the past and kind of reflecting on have we moved past this, or is it possible for things like this to happen again? The show is being performed in St. Paul, and St. Paul has such a rich, rich history of union workers coming together and fighting against oppression.”

Immersive Art at the Tale Teller Club: Music, Dance, and 360° LandscapesAt the Tale Teller Club, we believe art is at its most powerful when it refuses to sit still. This week, iServalan has been exploring a new experimental practice — weaving together music, contemporary dance, and immersive 360° landscapes into what we're calling fusion practice.From Studio to SphereFresh from training with the Rambert Dance Company in contemporary fusion, ballet, and Bollywood movement, iServalan has begun shaping a practice where dance phrases mirror the structures of musical composition. These are placed inside expansive 360° environments, creating layered artworks that audiences can experience in different ways — through VR headsets, phones, desktops, or traditional 2D films.

Luxury isn't about excess anymore. It isn't the jam-packed itineraries, the bursting closets, or the endless noise. The new luxury is about sanctuary, authenticity, and quiet moments that actually restore you. In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly what this shift means and why quiet, immersive travel will be your antidote to burnout in 2026 and beyond. We'll talk... How “hospitality as sanctuary” is redefining luxury travel and why fewer choices can actually feel more indulgent. Why authenticity is the ultimate form of access, and how insider moments matter more than tourist checklists. What “quiet luxury” really means outside of fashion, and how you can weave it into your everyday life through simple rituals. How I design my retreats in the French Riviera around depth, not distraction, so my guests can truly soften, reset, and be cared for. By the end of this episode, you'll see that true luxury isn't about what you accumulate, it's about how you live, slowly, intentionally, and beautifully. Because luxury isn't something you buy, it's something you create. Useful Resources:
I spoke with Venice Immersive curators Liz Rosenthal & Michel Reilhac about sneak peak of their 2025 selection, which is their largest selection yet. See more context in the rough transcript below. Here's an Venice Immersive Program Cheat Sheet by Voices of VR podcast (PDF), which has an overview of the four categories of immersive experiences ordered by longest booking times to shortest (amount of time required for scheduling purposes) as well as the actual runtime, the number of people who can see it per slot, and then the number of people who can see it per day. This should hopefully help for your scheduling process. I typically book experiences to roughly corresponding to hours. The Biennale scheduling website will open up on Thursday, August 21st, and it will not let you double book yourself. So I personally find it easier to book the longer experiences first, and then fill out my schedule with shorter experiences, and then experiences that generally have higher capacity. Note that Ancestors (capacity of 48 people), and L'Ombre (capacity of 50 people), and each of the VRChat sessions only have one booking time per day, and so these are also worth prioritizing if you want to see them and they should have lots of capacity throughout the week. The One the Other Earth may be one of the more logistically difficult experiences to see as you'll need to make a trek up to the main Venice island. I'd recommend trying to keep your schedule clear for at least an hour before and afterwards. Here's a Venice Immersive Schedule Helper that I put together to help navigate the schedule. Here's a placeholder for my other coverage of Venice Immersive 2025 to be updated after the festival. Venice Airport to Lido Island The best way to get to Lido from the Venice airport is either via the Red or Blue Line of the Alilaguna Public Transport water taxi, which you can get tickets either after you come out of customs or you can go to the water taxi dock at the Venice airport, and there's a booth there. Picking up badge at Palazzo del Casinò I usually pick up my badge at the bottom of the Palazzo del Casinò, which is at Lungomare Guglielmo Marconi, 1861, 30126 Lido VE, Italy Venezia 2000 to the VR Island (Lazzaretto Vecchio) The best way to get to the VR Island of Lazzaretto Vecchio from the docks is the bus. The buses leave every 15-20 minutes, and it's a 3 minute ride, and another 5 minute walk to the island. Here is a link to the bus route and the addresses. I believe it is either the A, N, or C or CE routes. I believe the bus stop names are S.Maria Elisabetta and then I get off at the Gallo Sant'Antonio stop. The address of the VR island is Isola del Lazzaretto Vecchio, Lazzaretto Vecchio, 30100 Venezia VE, Italy There is a water taxi that you can find the pick-up spot by looking at the google map and get directions there. It takes 1 minute of a ride, but there is only one taxi that can be a 10-15 minute wait depending on how busy it is. Also be sure to check out XR Must's interview with Liz and Michel, which I found a lot of helpful info in. Some of the artist statement videos are starting to get posted onto the BiennaleChannel YouTube page.

Marty talks about the latest Gurman opinion about the lackluster amount of spatial video available for the AVP and implications for the futureFollow the live stream at YouTube.com/@VisionProfiles on Monday nights at 9 PM EST or catch the video later on Youtube or audio on any pod catcher serviceToday's ProNote: Apple's Vision Pro Is Suffering From a Lack of Immersive Videohttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2025-08-17/why-doesn-t-the-vision-pro-have-more-immersive-video-apple-is-slow-rolling-it-mefmwpb1 · Core problem: Vision Pro remains niche due to the $3,499 price and a lack of must‑have features; visionOS 26 polish (e.g., widgets) hasn't shifted perception.· Immersive video = killer app… but scarce: Apple has slow‑rolled releases—about 27 total—so owners often feel there's little to watch.· Concrete gaps: still promoting NBA All‑Star 2024 while no 2025 immersive version exists months later; concerts are limited (Metallica, Bono; a short Weeknd clip).· Series are thin: Wild Life (4 eps), Elevated (1), Boundless (2), Adventure (5), Prehistoric Planet (2), Concert for One (1).· 3D ≠ truly immersive: 3D Disney/Harry Potter/James Bond titles don't deliver the all‑around‑you feel of Apple's immersive videos.· Why the drip‑feed: Apple shot a lot of immersive content, but production is expensive and resource‑intensive; with slow sales, Apple is metering releases to avoid draining the reserve.· Catch‑22: Immersive video is what sells the headset, yet low sales make a big content push hard to justify—leading to a standstill.· Retail angle: Apple leans on immersive video in store demos because it's the strongest “wow” moment.· Sales reality: Estimates suggest well under 1M U.S. units since launch, weakening the case for heavy near‑term spend on programming.· Roadmap tension: A faster‑chip refresh could land this year (incremental), while a cheaper, lighter model isn't expected until 2027—risking today's content feeling dated by the time mass adoption arrives.· Third‑party pipeline: Apple released a Mac app for immersive production and partnered with Blackmagic; a racing doc is due next month—but partners likely won't bridge the gap if Apple doesn't go big.· Bottom line: Vision Pro's best trick is immersive video, but until Apple expands the library, it remains an impressive demo more than a reason to buy.Email: ThePodTalkNetwork@gmail.com.

Morgan Stanley Research looks at how changes in demographics, ownership, and distribution can boost tech adoption to revolutionize the global sports industry. Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Cesar Medina: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Cesar Medina, Morgan Stanley's Latin America Technology, Media, and Telecom Analyst. Today – we discuss what's driving the digital revolution in global sports. And what it means for fans as well as investors. It's Monday, August 11th, at 10am in New York.These days, watching a sporting event at home usually means streaming the big game on a large 4K HDR screen. Maybe even 8K for premium events. You might access real time stats from a supporting app or social media on a secondary device. Maybe even have a group chat with friends. But imagine a game with real-time personalized stats. Immersive alternate camera angles. Or even experiencing the match from a player's perspective—all powered by AI. These innovations are already being tested and rolled out in select leagues. Global sports generates half a trillion dollars in annual revenues. Despite all that cash, until very recently the industry was slow to embrace digital technology, lagging behind movies and music. Now that's changing – and fast.So, what's driving this transformation? Three powerful forces are closing this digital gap. One – younger, tech-savvy audiences demanding more immersive and personalized experiences. Two – new distribution models, with digital platforms stepping into the arena. And three – institutional investment, bringing capital and a push for modernization. You might ask – what does this all mean for fans, investors, and the future of entertainment? Let's start with fans. Today's sports fans aren't just watching—they're interacting, betting, gaming, and sharing. And younger fans are leading the charge. They are spending more time online and expect hyper-personalized content. They're more interested in individual athletes than teams, and they engage through social media, fantasy sports, and interactive platforms. Surveys show that fans under 35 are significantly more likely to spend money on sports if the experience is digital-first. Some leagues have seen viewership jump by 40 percent after introducing interactive features. Others are using AI to personalize content, boosting engagement and revenue. Digital transformation isn't just about watching games though—it's about reimagining the entire ecosystem. When it comes to live events, smart venues are using AI to adjust ticket prices based on weather, opposing team, and demand. Some are even using facial recognition for faster entry and purchases. Streaming platforms are making broadcasts more interactive, while combating piracy with predictive tech. As for engagement, fantasy sports, esports, and betting are booming. AI-driven platforms are helping fans make smarter picks—and spend more. Altogether, these innovations could boost global sports revenues by over 25 percent, adding more than $130 billion in value. While North America leads in monetization, Emerging Markets are catching up fast. In India, Brazil, and the Middle East, for example, sports franchises are seeing double-digit growth in value—sometimes outpacing traditional media. And here's the kicker: many of these regions have younger populations and faster-growing digital adoption. That's a recipe for serious growth. Meanwhile, niche sports and women's leagues are also gaining global traction, expanding the definition of mainstream entertainment. Of course, this transformation of the sports industry faces real hurdles—technical expertise, budget constraints, and cultural resistance among coaches and athletes. But the incentives are clear. And as more capital flows into sports—from private equity to sovereign wealth funds—digital transformation is becoming a strategic priority. So, what's the biggest takeaway? Global sports is no longer just about what happens on the field. It's about how fans experience it—on their phones, in their homes, and in the stadiums of the future. So whether you're an investor, a fan, or just someone who loves a good underdog story, this is a game worth watching. Thanks for listening. If you enjoy the show, please leave us a review wherever you listen and share Thoughts on the Market with a friend or colleague today.

On this episode of the AI/XR Podcast, Charlie Fink, Ted Schilowitz, and Rony Abovitz welcome Brent Bushnell, co-founder of DreamPark, for an energizing conversation about the future of mixed reality entertainment. Brent shares how DreamPark turns public spaces into interactive theme parks using Meta Quest 3 headsets, enabling immersive gameplay on city streets, at malls, and even music festivals. The hosts reflect on the legacy of Magic Leap, the overlooked brilliance of the Magic Leap game Dr. Grordbort's Invaders, made exclusively for Magic Leap by New Zealand's WETA studio. Rony compares Brent's vision to Walt Disney, and the brainstorm an entire Dream Park business plan, discussing everything from retrofitting dead malls to launching pop-ups at Buc-ee's and Walmart. Along the way, they discuss the shortcomings of Apple Vision Pro, Magic Leap's lost potential, and the promise of scalable location-based XR. Equal parts XR therapy session and founder love-fest, this episode captures what happens when tech dreamers like Brent Bushnell find a working prototype.Thank you to our sponsor, Zappar!Don't forget to like, share, and follow for more!
